Geneva 2015: Morgan debuts next-gen Aero 8

Fifth-generation Aero 8 now comes with LSD, ABS and cruise control

Morgan has officially launched the fifth-generation Aero 8 at this year's Geneva Motor Show. The all-new Aero 8 still bears the classic lines and silhouette but now features added mechanical upgrades.

For starters, its aluminum chassis has better torsional stiffness along with an all-new suspension fitted with anti-roll bars.

Inside, the automaker applied minor revisions on the Aero 8 including authentic wood accents and fine leather trim. It has a flat-bottom steering wheel, a new aircon system, an optional touchscreeen infotainment system and carbon seats.

Under the hood, it is powered by the carried-over 4.8-liter V8 sourced from BMW that generates 371 PS. It can be mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox which comes with paddle shifters.
